Killer had this interesting tidbit from Lions practice this week....
Meanwhile, backup quarterback Joey Harrington has raised some eyebrows with his play in practice during the last two weeks. Harrington has looked exceptionally sharp throwing the ball and is playing with a more relaxed attitude.
"The players have been talking about it. He looks good," Backus said.
While Harrington, who started 37 consecutive games before being replaced by Jeff Garcia last Sunday, isn't likely to beat out Garcia now, the Lions know they might need Harrington at some point down the road.
"He's really throwing the ball well. Sometimes when you're demoted, you learn things about yourself," cornerback Andre Goodman said.
Said Backus: "The pressure's gone and he doesn't have to worry about anybody booing him the first time he does something wrong. I hope he keeps it up."
After completing several downfield passes for the scout team (against Detroit's No. 1 defense), Harrington said, "I'm having fun out there."
